I don't see how it will help when the wind is blowing directly at that pic.
Sort of like you could have a sturdy bow like in your pick, but how it attaches to the next bow and the next is what confounds me. Obviously the purlins and ridge pole connect each bow together, but I'm told the purlins alone won't keep it strong enough.
Sorry if I'm frustrating u, I'm slow to visualize some things.

You are not frustrating me at all I love this stuff.
As I said in the above post I haven't gotten to the other bracing yet.
And I am trying not to insult cole.
I just dont want to see it collapses because as it stands now it surely will I can promise that.
If it were me I would look at the price options with cross bracing not only on the wall but the roof.
I am leaning toward cable and turn buckles.
Plywood laid sideways so it was 4 feet tall would greatly help or even wood runners down the sides with wood bracing.
There are a thousand ways to do this.
right now I dont even know if the scissors truss is the best idea.
It might be better if it was inverted so the big ends were on the bottom.
